Nominated by: Division of Astrophysics

Page, Lyman A. [2013]
Princeton University
Citation: For his leadership in precision measurements of the cosmic microwave background, culminating in the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe experiment, which has enabled precise determinations of the fundamental cosmological parameters, including the geometry, age and composition of the universe.
Nominated by: Division of Astrophysics

Seljak, Uros [2013]
University of California, Berkeley
Citation: For seminal contributions to theoretical and observational cosmology, including the theory of anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background gravitational lensing, galaxy formation and inflation.
Nominated by: Division of Astrophysics

Spergel, David N. [2013]
Princeton University

Nominated by: Division of Astrophysics

Stone, James M. [2013]
Princeton University
Citation: For his leading role in the development of tools for computational magnetohydrodynamics and in advancing our understanding of the physics of accretion disks, the dynamics of disk driven winds, and the dynamics of molecular clouds.
Nominated by: Division of Astrophysics

Timmes, Francis X. [2013]
Arizona State University
Citation: For his leadership (both in computation and physics) in and contributions to nuclear astrophysics throughout all aspects of stellar explosions of both types of supernovae from progenitors, explosions and nucleosynthetic yield dispersal in the universe.
Nominated by: Division of Astrophysics

Westerhoff, Stefan [2013]
University of Wisconsin, Madison
Citation: For contributions to particle astrophysics covering gamma ray, neutrino and cosmic ray experiments, especially to the commissioning of a new generation of experiments. For elucidating the statistics of the search for anisotropies in the cosmic ray flux and mapping the arrival directions of Galactic cosmic rays in the southern sky using IceCube data.
